At recess, Stewart and I played catch. I forgot about Joe for a few minutes. Then someone tapped me hard on my shoulder. I spun around. It was Joe. "How's Dimples' little boo-boo?" he asked. "Stop calling me that," I said. "Now don't get so excited," he sneered. "It makes your face look like a tomato-a tomato with worm holes." Lawrence hates being teased about his dimples, but nothing he does seems to make any difference. Joe goes right on teasing him, and the teasing gets meaner and meaner. Finally, Lawrence notices something about his friend Stewart that may provide the tool he needs to tease-proof himself once and for all.
